In 2008 the company celebrated its 100 anniversary. It was a great event because Converse is the best basketball shoes well known all over the world and worn by famous NBA players. But many of us don’t know that Converse didn’t start as a shoe company in basketball business.

Converse released its first pair of boots in 1908. They were making rubber soled footwear. Only in 1917 the first basketball shoes was released. The model line was named Converse All Star. The company found a promoter in the person of Charles “Chuck” Taylor. He was doing his best and in 1923 his signature was added to the All Star patch.

Converse became extremely popular footwear so in 1975 converse added “One Star” to its lineup. These shoes were low-cut created right for the basketball. Then they were adopted by skaters. But till now they are seeking for the changes in design.

In 2008 the shoes developers collaborated to make the new Converse One Star. Let’s see what Converse One Star is!

The Great Converse Event

“There were no cell phones, no laptops, no disco, and the Internet wasn’t even a word,” Telander, a former SI senior writer, writes in the introduction to a new edition of Heaven, released last week by Bison Books. “But the people were the same, and so were their dreams…. [And] by God, there was basketball. I promise you that.”

University basketball turns out to become a business

The main character of this story is the professional coach Pete Bell (Nick Nolte) who is trying to obtain the 100% efficiency from his players. Having not reached the target he vents his spleen upon the bench. So he gets the repute of cranky coach and absolutely incapable person.

University basketball turns out to become a business. Against the set rules the universities hunt for excellent professional school players, try to graft them and gain them over. College where the coach Bell works has many rich graduating students who propose him to cross the rules and gather the team with high-class players. He asks: “You took the purest thing in your life and corrupted it, for what? For what?”

Because of having lost his authority and problems in private life the coach agrees and accepts the proposition. But will he be able to step over his pride training the people who are interested only in money and gain? Such people don’t like the basketball, it’s not their style of life – it’s just a method to get more profit.

In the “Blue Chips” movie we can see the perfect actors’ play and even some of the sportsmen (I mean Shaquille O’Neal) will become the famous players after starring in this movie. “Blue Chips” is a very interesting film with typical characters but excellent plot. I think it’s sufficiently bold movie which brings many things to light and if I\m not wrong the story is real one. I watched this movie in a burst of inspiration.

The coach of basketball team finds himself in front of big dilemma: playing with previous lineup may cause the failure but involving new players is impossible without crossing the rules.

“Boys, the rules don't make much sense. But I believe in the rules. Some of us broke them. I broke them. I can't do this. I can't win like this.”

Bell says: “Boys, the rules don’t make much sense. But I believe in the rules. Some of us broke them. I broke them. I can’t do this. I can’t win like this.”

In love as in basketball…
What basketball is?
The game?
The lifestyle?
Something more…

We saw a lot of movies about sports: hokey, football, gymnastics and…basketball.

When you playing basketball you feel the ball, the game, the rivals but you forget about everything else. And only when you are set down on the reserved bench then you remember that

When you playing basketball you feel the ball, the game, the rivals but you forget about everything else. And only when you are set down on the reserved bench then you remember that

you’re alive, that you have family, sweetheart, friends..

The characters of this basketball movie forget about everything when they’re playing. But leaving the sports ground they keep on being true to the game not to themselves. They hardly can say each other how many feeling and emotions live in their hearts. They used to be strong and to hide their feelings behind the game.

But once all that things, so ordinary style of life disappear. And after that the basketball loses its sense. When they are staying behind the gulf so they come to understanding how illusory their dreams were. So they start to differentiate the game and real life…

The line is the love story. Monika and Quinsy know each other from their childhood. Many years ago he was stroke with the fact that girl could play basketball even better than he. So they became friend and some time later – lovers. But to reach a success Quinsy left Monika. He dreamt of becoming a famous basketball player as his father did. But now, when he is already a professional player the destiny gives him a chance to correct the biggest mistake of his life and to make Monika be back…

So the basketball broke the two people in love off and brought them together.

“Love & Basketball” was produced on an estimated $15,000,000 budget. In the opening weekend of its release, it was shown on 1,237 screens, and took in $8,139,180.

Desson Howe – American film critic – wrote about the movie: “Love and Basketball’ had moments of such tenderness and sophistication, complimented by such romantic dreaminess between lead performers Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan. First-time filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood’s film joins such films as ‘The Best Man‘ and ‘The Wood‘, which look for the class, not the crass, in African American life.”
